Activated Charcoal

Charcoal isn’t just for the barbecue anymore. As it turns out Activated Charcoal is one of the best natural pore cleansing ingredients there is; and it doesn’t stop there, there’s quite a few other ways it can be beneficial for your skin too. So what other benefits are there to Activated Charcoal, and why have we used it as a hero ingredient in our Activated Charcoal Smoothing Body Scrub?

Firstly, what is Activated Charcoal? Not to get too technical, but it’s basically heated carbon. This helps to increase its absorption power, which means when it’s applied to your skin, it helps to draw out little, tiny particles such as dirt, oils, bacteria, makeup and other debris. 

So what are the top benefits of Activated Charcoal?

Deep Pore Cleanse

So you know now that Activated Charcoal has awesome absorption benefits. It’s like a magnet pulling the impurities out of your pores. These impurities stick to the activated charcoal and allow your pores to rejuvenate without anything blocking its way.

Gentle Exfoliator 

Charcoal's unique texture helps to gently remove your dead skin cells which allows your body to fully replenish new cells.

Improves acne and blackheads 

Pimples are caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria that gets trapped inside the pores in your skin. As we know, Activated Charcoal helps pull out those impurities, and lifts the bacteria which may help reduce acne by cleaning your pores. 

Reduces oily skin

Oily skin is the result of excess sebum produced by the body. Activated charcoal absorbs the oil and leaves skin feeling fresh and light.
